The remotely substituted 5-exo-bicyclo[2.1.1]hexan-2-one system is introduced as a new probe to study long range electronic effects on p-face selectivity during hydride reduction and a systematic computational study demonstrates good predictability at the semi-empirical level.

✦ Synopsis
The cation complexation model performs better than the hydride model and is at par with the transition state model at the HF/6-31G* and B3LYP/6-31G* levels. Electrostatic effects that rely on the residual charges on C5 and C6 of the title substrate and that are believed to contribute to the overall performance of the hydride model also perform poorly.

Summarv : The transition state structures for addition of LiH to 1, 2, and 3 are computed and analyzed at MP2/6-3lG(d)//HF/6\_3lG(d). Three factors are found to be important for the relative energies of the transition state structures: (i) the conformational energy of the aldehyde; (ii) the interac
